Today I got out of bed before noon and took a shower. That's it. That was my whole day pretty much. But a few weeks ago I couldn't even do that. So I'm counting it as a win. Trying to be easier on myself. How do you guys handle self-care when you're struggling?
Dude, with twins I know better than most that progress isn't linear, but showing up for yourself like that is everything. Keep going.
Small wins absolutely count. I'm learning that with a newborn - some days just surviving is the victory. You're doing great.
Absolutely, those are huge wins. I remember when I was in a rough spot after our son was born, just showering felt like climbing a mountain. You're moving in the right direction and that matters.
Small wins absolutely count. Getting out of bed and showering when you're struggling is actually huge. Don't diminish what you accomplished today.
100% they count. Some days that's literally all you can do and that's okay. Taking a shower when you're in a dark place takes more strength than people realize.

That's not a small win, that's a real win. Mental health is the foundation for everything else. Be proud of yourself for taking care of yourself today.
